The present invention relates to improvements in receptacles and hasreference more particularly to a container for use in pickling foodproducts such as vegetables, meats. Q

5 7 One of the important objects of the present invention is toprovide'a'pickling recep-.- tacle that includes a means for facilitatingthe draining of theliquid whereby the food products undergoing thepickling action may 10 be removed fr-om'the receptacle withoutre movingthe brine or chemically'itreated liquidwith'such products. i

Still afurther object is to provide a pickling receptacle of the abovementioned character Wliichis simple in constructiominexpensive, strongand durable andfurther well adapted to the purposes for which it is de-Q signed; y p Other objects and'advantages Will become ii fiapparentduring the course of the following description. 1 v
